Interactional Preparing Young People for the Modern School

The author considers that it is imperative that all teachers work on developing self-esteem in children. Thus the new generation of students, when they leave school desks, were trained for public speaking and speaking in front of others, would have developed organizational skills to make decisions, and potentially developed entrepreneurial skills. So the new and modern school requires all students a positive attitude towards learning. The paper presents empirical generalizations from several empirical researches realized in the region of Split (in Croatia), and discusses the research findings. Changes in transitional societies are happening in the field of education, but there are some new forms of education and new prestigious educational institutions. The author concludes that (post) modernization processes in contemporary schools contribute to the weakening of traditional family and other ties, and current modes of transmission of values and behaviors from generation to generation. Therefore, young people will probably increasingly develop more individual strategies of their integration into the framework of the school learning, of the work and youthful development.
